Banished by Bismarck Fifteen
Years Ago, but Now on Their
Way Home.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Fathers Ildephonse and Andrew. of
Cumberland, and John, of Peoria, ILL.,,
and Brothers Wendelyn, of Matamoras;
Alexis, of Canal Dover; Godfried, of
Wheeling, and Homobon, of Pittsburg,
formed an unusually happy group of
monks as they stood in the corner of the
union depot gayly chatting among them
selves. The auSteritieS practiced by the
Franciscan order were laid aside for the
time being and their wan faces, that
spoke of severe labOrS and long suffer
ing, were lighted UP with strange and
bright smiles that were pleasant to see.
Covered with long, cheap busters, their
Black vests buttoned tightly around
their necks, and big, broad, brown straw
hats on their heads, they presented ex-
ternally very ordinary appearance,
but their sharp, clear eyes and high
foreheadS beSpake very plainly the in
tellectuai power the men possessed.

porter said.

think we ought to be. We are going
back to Germany, from which country
we were cruelty baniShed in 1872. Since
that time we have been living in
America. We have been recalled by the
bishops, and are going back to take
charge of the monaSteries we left fifteen
years ago. We sail tomorrow in the
Rotterdam for Europe"
''Why We're you banished?' the re
porter asked.
''Well, shortly after the Franco-Prus-
sian war Emperor William desired to be
recognized as the head of the political
and religious power in the state. He
did not wish to declare this principle
openly, but instructed Bismarck to issue
laws banishing all the monks from the
kingdom. Bismarck said: The
Pope is a stranger. You wor-
ship and obey him; therefore, as
you do not respect the emperor
and oare enemies of the country, you
must depart Thus the Iron Chancellor
spoke. and the German police were not
slow in carrying out his commands.
Soon they appeared at the doors of the
three mOnaSterieS and asked us to go.
If you refuse they said, we will have
to drive you out of the country by force
Humbly we submitted to the unjust de-
cree and tried to initiate the example
the sisters had to leave, and, lonely
little band, we were soon widely scat
tered. Some of us settled in Holland
and Belgium, others went to different
parts of Southern Europe, among the
mountains of Switzerland and on the
sunny plains of France, and small
body came to America. We started
new monasteries, and through our faith
in God we thrived.
Recently Bismarck discovered that
he had made a mistake and had acted
unjustly. Under the able leadership
of DR.. WindthOrst the Center or CathO-
lie party has become very powerful in
the German Reichstag. The Doctor
gave Bismarck to understand that I'M
less the Odious laws banishing the
monks from the country were repealed
he could not support him. Bismarck
thereupon rescinded the laws and we
are going back to our old homes and
the scenes of our former laborS.'

any such remembrance of his past in
suits to the president and herself. But
it would not have been in good taste to
greet Mrs. Foraker while refusing the
governors hand. And there seems but
one question to ask in order to set this
whole matter at rest. In calling the
president a dog, what did Gov. Foraker
imply as the fitting title of Mrs. Cleve-
land? Would you insist that your wife
should shake the hand of a man
who had applied to her such degrad-
ing epithet?
There are some prerogatives still re-
served to woman, and that of maintain
ing her dignity and womanhood is
among the number. The president
acted wisely as the executive of the
nation, but the wife of the president is
private citizen of the republic, and as
such, may, with equal wisdom, pursue
different course. Whatever may be
thought of the policy of her action, she
should at least be commended for her
grit. If that be treason, let Foraker
make the most of it.

The question as to whether OF not
Mrs. Cleveland snubbed Gov. Foraker,
of Ohio, is the chief subject of CONVEX
sation. at present. No one seems to
know, but after some of Mr.. Foraker's
remarks about Mrs. Cleveland's hus-
band it would not be surprising. The
more the little characteristics of

parent becomes the fact that she is
true lady and a good wife. If the COM
pany of certain men is not agreeable to
Mrs. Cleveland we cannot see why she
should be Inundated by the discussion
of the matter from the pitiable stand
point of society snobs. But after all
the ado of the political dudes, it does
not appear that the Buckeye gentle
man was Snubbed.

President Cleveland is no orator, and
never will be, but he does know how to
make little speeches calculated to i'm
press and please. When Blaine was
swinging around the circle it was es-
specially noted all of his little addresses
differed from each other, yet they all
struck soft spot in the hearts of his
hearers. The president knows how to
compliment without flattering. He
knows how to compare without giving
offense to the party which suffers by the
comparison-a rare gift. He has hang
ing on a convenient peg of his mind the
facts and figures of the growth of each
section, and he understands when and
how to use them. President Cleveland
has shown rare tact as public speaker
His speeches are short, to the point. un-
pretentious, frank and, therefore, popu-

A Grand Ovation.

Fargo, OAK, Sun.
The trip of President Cleveland and
party through the West has proved the
grandest ovation ever offered presi-
dent since the beginning of the govern
ment. Each city through which he
passes vies with each in doing him honor
regardless of party lines or anything
else. These grand ovations not only
show that the president has given con-
sistent and satisfactory administration,
but that he has lifted the government
out of the partisan ruts in which the
Republican party has run it for twenty
five years, and made it a government
of the people and for the people. Com
ing as it does at time when the Re-
publican party politicians are almost
moving heaven and earth to make it APP

The Presidents Wife.

Aberdeen, OAK. News.
There should be no such expression as
'the presidents wife, used. 1t is far
more i'll keeping with the custom of the
American people-ladies and gentle
men-to speak of the wife of President
Cleveland as Mrs. Cleveland. Wives of
prominent officials have almost invaria-
bly, refused to interfere with that pOr-
ton of affairs of the government which
came under the control Of their reSpec
tive husbands. They NAV have at times
eXerted an untold influence in these af-
fairs. but it has invariably been done
within the pale of the family, unknown
and uninfluenced by the outer world.
1t is for this reason that the wife OF the
president should not have her name as
Sociated with the title of the office which
her husband occupies, any further than
the distinction which society makes on
account of her husbands position.
Mrs. Cleveland is the first lady of the
land. Society has accorded her that
position. She is brilliant, modest and
unassuming, and regardless of the fact
that she is the wife of the
president of the United States, she is
entitled to the distinction of lady and
convey This would be the case were
she the wife of the sheriff of Erie county
or of a citizen of a Western state.
America is full of such ladies and Mrs.
Cleveland is but one, yet a typical one,
and one who richly deserves the posi-
ton which she now occupies. By her
study. her travel, not abroad, particu-
larry, but in her native country, she has
acquired that knowledge which is of
great benefit to her and which she uses
so aptly.
1t is highly improper and uninstto as
sociate the name of Mrs. Cleveland with
anything of a nature pertaining to her

Coming out to see the prairies,

Crumpled, greasy, long petitions,

And will swing around the circle,

AFRAID OF HIS GRIP.
SPEAKING FROGS.
Partisan IdIers Are Now Killing
Time i'm CrueIty

Frog-spearlng. is questionable kind
of amusement which, it. appears, is just
now INDUCED in by French aristocratic
idlers, who are trying to kill the long
summer days in country seats. The
latest instance of this peculiar kind of
sport took place in the grounds of the
Chateau of Bellancourt. After luncheon,
a party of "ladies and gentlemen"
armed with weapons resembling cross
bows, the arrows being of haZel-wood
with iron lance heads, and attached to
the bows by silken strings. so as to en-
able the frogs to be hauled in, proceeded
to the banks of pond. Then there was
a great deal of unceremoniouS STOPPING
down as the frogs appeared, and arrows
were let off in all directions, the slaugh-
ter being considerable on the part of
those who pursued the sport for the
purpose of bagging game. The impaled
batrachians were in all cases carefully
collected aud handed over to the cook.

Cleveland, as she honors and loves her
husband according to her marital vows,

highly indignant at Foraker, and she

And take your sticks in hand,
And do your best to try and please

So let us cheer
And Swell the music's serenade.

We feel so gay,
We honor him by this parade.
Some OF us should be thankful
For the offices he gave;
Aud others hopeful they shall get
The offices they crave.
But whether we're In luck or not
And whether "in" or "out"
lets bless our glorious President
And shake him out u shout.

And all ye knights chivalrous,
Who for womanhood could die,
Take Off your hats, and, hands on hearts,
Bow low and heave sigh;
Bow low ut lovely woman's shrine
And let your shout attest
That Mrs. Cleveland, too, has won
The friendship of the West.
CuoRus.-O, Cleveland's here,
So let us cheer,
And swell the music's serenade
Give three times three
For Mrs. G.
And honor both by this parade.

SnubS Are Not Uncommon.

What of all this snubbing business
anyhow? Mrs. Cleveland had a right to
snub Gov. Foraker if she felt so dis
posed. and he doesn't help himself be-
fore the public by pleading the martyr
act az 1t is the only means woman has has
her. Besides this, Snubs are not so I'M
common in high circles as to make this
instance so notorious, though ladies do
not often have cause to exercise such
means of rebuke. At the grand review
of the army in Washington, at the close
of the war, Gen. Sherman refused to
shake hands with Secretary Stanton.
Not very long ago the plumed knight of
Maine refused to shake hands with or
recognize Senator Edmunds. The snub-

Seeking Notoriety.

Le SeueF OeuliIlel.
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, may be brave
man, but he evidently seeks notOriety,
and rather than not have fame he APP
pears to court infamy. The story now
paraded before the public, that Mrs.
Cleveland refused to shake hands with
him at Philadelphia, doubtless has no
foundation in fact, but was started
to benefit Foraker in his Ohio
campaign, by creating sympathy for
him. But a man, and especially one
who occupies the chair of governor, who
will stoOp so low as to pander to vulgar
partisan feeling as to compare the presi-
dent of the United States with dog,
and then offer the dog an apology for
doing SO, would have to meet a very
mean dog to deserve recognition from
him. If Mrs. Cleveland snubbed such
acreature it is highly creditable to her
Womanhood. None of the proprieties
of life require her to recognize man
who glOries in repelling respect.
